Abstract
Almost 175 years ago, the low-slope roofing membrane industry began with the use of a field-applied liquid component and a reinforcing fabric. Built-up roofs using coal tar or bitumen were the standard for well over a century; however, in the last 50 years, factory-produced membranes grew in popularity and also secured a place as a dominant method of roofing application. During recent years, fluid-applied materials- albeit without the use of a kettle-have been filling a need for difficult applications where prefabricated membranes are not the easiest solution.
